Letters Patent No. 93,416, dated August 10, 1869.

4IIWPIRO'VIIID VISE.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

Be it known that I, IRA CoGsWELL, Jr., of La Salle, in the county of La Salle, and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Vises; and 1 do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear,

Aand exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the saine, reference being had to the' accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification. l

This invention relates to improvements in benchvises, designed to provide for conveniently adjusting the holding-jaws to any required position 'for holding the work to advantage.

' It consists in :n1 arrangement for adjusting them as Ito height; also in horizontal and'vertical planes.

i oseillate in a vertical plane, and the surfaces of both parts surrounding the holes for the pivot-bolt are serrated, to prevent slipping, when clamped together by the pivot-bolt, which screws into the part C of the fixed jaw.

The vertical supportA is provided with an enlarged -Orncollar, having a serrated face, also with a round'shank passing through a tubular holder F, and provided with a tightening-nut, H, below the bottoni of the said holder.

The upper end, G, ofthe holder is enlarged, and

also serrated, so that whenthe nut H is tightened up, the vise will be held rmly against oscillating in the horizontal plane, in which this arrangement is intended for. adjusting it.

The'tubular holder is supported in another holder,

K,'permanent1y connectedto the bench or other sup port, and arranged to be adjusted vertically thereon,

and sustained at any pointby a set-screw, L.

By these arrangements it will be seen that my improved vise may be readily adjusted to any position that may be required for any kind of work.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patentv 'lhe combination of the adjustable connection of the jaws with v the support A, the adjustable connection y of the holde A with the holder F, and the adjustable connection of the holder F with the permanent holder K, all substantially as specified.
